June 11 (Reuters) - Honda Motor America is

recalling 1,049,883 vehicles in the United States due to a

defect in the tyre repair kit, the National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Wednesday.

The issue involves a faulty sealant bottle, in which

pressure can build up, potentially causing the cap to detach and

become a projectile, the regulator said.

The recall includes certain Honda Accord Hybrid, CR-V Fuel

Cell EV, and CR-V Hybrid vehicles, the U.S. safety regulator

said.

As a remedy for the recall, dealers will replace the tire

repair kit nozzle or sealant bottle, free of charge.
